[Touch CDMA General] antig3n:
Hello,

So I followed this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=636024

to put myn's warm donut on my US Cellular HTC Vogue. Pretty quick and painless, and I am very happy and grateful for the simple guide for a newbie like me.

I am having a few problems. The main one being I can't figure a way to access my sd card. I tried the Dual Mount SD widget, no luck. I occasionally see a K:\ but I can't actually access it.

And then tried the adb method from droidoholics, again no luck - adb never recognizes my device. It also times out when I try to uninstall or reinstall the drivers. I really just want to be able to put a new android build on there.

I am also wondering if it is possible to access 3G networks with this phone - I usually only get ~15 Kb/s downstream on my current network.

I am also wondering if it is possible to utilize the GPS - I had this working on my stock windows 6.1 OS but it was pretty useless for navigation.

I think I am just unclear about some general fundamentals of this process (and the capabilities of my device) and am getting heavily bogged down in detailed threads. I have spent most of yesterday and today trying to find answers to these problems here and at ppcg. I would really appreciate some general tips and answers.

And I just want to say thank you to the developers and testers for bringing new life to this device. Its a godsend.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] cconwing:
I've been reading through the forums here and I think I have a little bit of info on custom roms and kernels etc. but I've never put one on my phone. The most I've ever done was root which was enough for me for a while but I've recently started getting a little sick of lag and 4g/gps issues for some reason I can't tether, and the hard keyboard skipping is annoying. I was eagerly waiting for froyo to help with these issues but it doesn't seem to have helped in some cases which make me nervous to go to Froyo before the bugs are worked out.

My question is this...is there a rom out that anyone could suggest thats easy to put on the epic for a noob but can also take care of the issues I'm having and be fairly stable? Or should I wait for Sprint/Sammy to fix the Froyo issues if they're doing that? Or just wait for the EB13 roms to be fully tested and worked out before I do anything? :/

Sorry if this is a pretty vague question, I was leaning towards the newest version of midNIGHT since people seem to have good feedback on that and the dev seems pretty responsive to the public but bonsai and viper both seem like pretty good prospects as well...any info would be immensely appreciated. :)

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
I don't think any of the roms will help with hard keyboard skipping. If you're a fast texter its always going to be present, at least it has for me.

What 4G problem are you having? As for GPS, some people can't get theirs to work regardless of what they try. Others (myself included), have gotten it fixed with almost instant locks by using some of the available roms or doing the master reset in one of the threads here, that's what fixed it for me.

I say dive in and try something out so you get a feel for what's available. Try out a DK28 rom, they all run pretty good and EB13 introduced some new bugs. If you can read and follow directions, you'll be just fine ;)
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
If you don't really know what you are doing and you're still on 2.1, I would say to stick with a 2.1 based rom. There are plenty of souped up roms available. If you want a 2.2 based rom and you're not confident in what you're doing, I would say use Odin to flash the dk28 based froyo. Then, flash midnight or bonsai. People seem to clamor for those 2 for stability and debloat. There are others that are great, but have more things installed.
[Epic 4G General] cconwing:
Thanks for the insight and I was thinking about just diving in myself :/ I just get nervous I'm going to screw up my phone or lose some data or something but I think I'll try a DK28 Rom really soon, just not sure which one yet. Would you say they all run fairly better than stock Eclair?

As for the 4G issue it never stays connected. My GF has an evo shift and in the same room she connects and stays connected with good speeds and everything and mine always disconnects right away. GPS isn't that bad on my phone right now however theres the occasional times when it can't lock which is very annoying.

Thanks for the help though! :)
[Epic 4G General] cconwing:
Yeah, thats most likely what I'll do. Those were definitely my top choices from reading through the forums and seeing what each had to offer. I'll have to wait for the EB13 builds to become a little bit more stable before I flash to any of those. I definitely need to just stick with what works right now and not testing, since I'm such a noob :/

Thanks for the feedback though, I'm starting to get rom fever as we speak :) How long does it take to flash to the dk28 then to midnight? I wanna know when I'll have the time to :) Also, you think you could point me in either direction of the odin flash for dk28 and/or the midnight version for that build?

Thanks again

As far as Roms, I definitely agree that Midnight and Bonsai are great roms. You may want to search for the Genocide kernel under the development section too to help with lag. Once you get started flashing roms, it might become an addiction! Good luck!
[Epic 4G General] cconwing:
Awesome! Thanks guys for all the feedback, I'll definitely be using all of this because I've really been looking to maximize my usage on the phone and the lag and 4g issues havent been helping. I'll definitely have to look up some more info on the Genocide kernel for sure. :)

Am I weird that I actually kind of hope it does become an addiction? :) haha
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ballzdeeeper:
As any of you who have tried to install a MicroSD card know, there was a little place holder that said "Replace with MicroSD only after Android system update".

There is no info on the Motorola page other than repeating that message. I haven't gotten any response to questions about time line for update.

Any one know more?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
One day...your guess is as good as everyone elses. When we send them in for the 4g fix, then the sdcard should work when it gets back is the way i understand it. I have put sdcards in there, and it does nothing :( can't even see it from the pc.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eaglecomm:
My guess is they would need to get the MicroSD 'issue' fixed before they release the Wifi version. Since that version is not going to be sent back for the 4G LTE hardware change. But if there is ANY part of it attached to the hardware that will be swapped out in the 3G/4G model, then they may have to have separate release dates depending on Wifi-only versus 3G/4G models.

The Wifi versions may get the 'support/fix' before 3G then if that's the case.

So here is hoping there will be some update around early April with the rumors of an April 3rd (or maybe late March) Wifi launch date.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bauxite:
This is a software issue only it has nothing to do with the 4g upgrade which only adds a mini-pci card to the board.

Everyone will get this update, 4g or not.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eaglecomm:
Good and bad then I suppose.. if it is just software.. it means the date is still up in the air. Bummer. :(
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruinah:
if that's the case and the wifi versions would be fixed ahead of time before launch so they don't have to send them back wouldn't you think this is something they can OTA a hotfix for? Like a little patch to enable it and fix whatever issue it's having (if there truly is one).
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eaglecomm:
Well, if it truly was a hardware + software issue (which Bauxite replied it is only sw) then I was imagining Moto 'fixing' the hardware issue and Google/Moto combining that with a software fix. So, no, I don't think an OTA would have fixed it if it was HW+SW. Anyways.. moot now.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] s0meguy:
I recently rooted my ms690 without downgrading thanks to joneidy's process. Worked like a charm first time. i am currently running 2.2.1. i am able to run titanium backup and other SU apps but when it comes to running a lag fix, i cant get it to work. when i try to run ryanza OCLF, i get a null error when installing the ext2 tools. I thought it might be a busybox issue so i updated it and even tried installing busy box to the xbin file all to no avail. my question is this: Has anyone else out there experienced this problem? and has anyone successfully lag fixed their optimus m while running 2.2.1 with either OCLF or voodoo?

One of the many ROMs i've tried had this feature in it. When you have an app open you can press the back button to force close it. Unfortunately i dont remember which ROM this was, but hopefully some here can help me out with this. Is there any way i can have this feature in any ROM i install or is this something specific to some ROMs?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunden:
Well, I'm pretty sure it was introduced in CM and then copied to MIUI but then again they share code from time to time so it doesn't matter. :)

Probably because almost all roms on XDA now just copy CM pretty much straight up. ;)

Why would a stock package (/system/app/LatinImeGoogle.apk) fail a check?

What are my options?

I would be eternally grateful to the kind soul that helps me solve this problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aduane:
I'm looking at the recovery's source, trying to find exactly what apply_patch_check("/system/app/LatinImeGoogle.apk", "136c595463cfb6973f20183500e3fbe17bdfaa26", "b1b09614a3a26adc10f04b53036dfa42baf6e87f") means.

I'm guessing they are two checksums, and they should match up. If I could find an apk of the one it likes, could I replace it and have the patch pass? I'm not familiar with replacing system apks.

Sorry for the late reply but...Uh..that does not seems to be the Blackberry ping messenger....It seems more like the real "Ping" from/for windows platforms...

But anyway I got a full understanding that HTC cannot have it unlike iPhone or android OS got watzzup..Winmo sucks....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] eurorpeen:
Stupid

Iphone sucks, we agree on that

When you say "ping" everyone understand the REAL ping from Windows or Linux or Unix or android lol

If you want to talk about instant messagery and a software called ping, I think you will find more than enough in the Windows Mobile world. Why not try IM+ for exemple.

Do you really use a blackberry ?

Did you try it through the terminal?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
This just happened to me, over the last 2 days. I don't install new apps (I've got all the apps I need), I am on Ice Glacier v1.1.4 and it has been smooth as glass since I installed it back in December.

Two days ago, I noticed my Angry Birds icon on my desktop was a 'generic Android' icon. No app in the drawer. I have seen this issue with Titanium before, so for giggles, I just downloaded the app again from the Market. I opened Angry Birds and all of my data was there.

Last night, I noticed my xPiano app was gone, along with Angry Birds Seasons. Same thing - reinstalled via Market and all of my data was there.

So it's just the app that's vanishing, not my data for said app.

I'll try the terminal method to change/fix permissions, but it's curious that this happened "out of the blue." The only things that "changed"/happened were:

- A new version of Titanium was downloaded

- Titanium batch backup of Apps + Data runs nightly, then reboots

I've also been having problems with my battery life. When I was charging my phone it was at about 87% so I decided to turn it off and charge it to make it go quicker. Not even after 1 minute it turned green. So I kept taking off the charger and putting it in and it seemed to work for about 1 minute and go back to green. After 5 attempts, I turned on my phone and it showed I only had 89% but while its on it will accept the charge. Although I have also noticed that when it's around 96% the phone will take a very long time to get to 100% (about 1 1/2 hours).
